Pushed out to
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/fuse.git#for-next
Major changes compared to patchset:
- renamed to "virtiofs". Filesystem names don't usually have
underscore before "fs" postfix.
- removed option parsing completely. Virtiofs config is fixed to "-o
rootmode=040000,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,default_permissions".
Does this sound reasonable?
There are miscellaneous changes, so needs to be thoroughly tested.
I think we also need something in
"Documentation/filesystems/virtiofs.rst" which describes the design
(how request gets to userspace and back) and how to set up the
server, etc... Stefan, Vivek can you do something like that?
Thanks,
Miklos
